JACKIE EVANCHO
‘Ombra mai fu‘
from Serse
by George Frideric Handel
We’re very pleased to welcome for the first time to Opera Queensland, Jackie Evancho. Jackie appeared on the fifth season of America’s Got Talent and quickly developed a huge following, enchanting audiences with her sweet voice. Here she sings Handel’s much loved ‘Ombra mai fu’ from ‘Serse’, the 16th century work, featuring the Persian ruler Xerxes as its central character.
